This is why a book that gets the readers to the meaning of his poetry as painlessly as possible is so important.
This volume features the complete text of Pope's most significant poem, The Dunciad. The first-rate annotations that accompany this edition of the poem provide information on matters of interpretation and give details of allusions that might prove baffling to the contemporary reader.
